A special post and Merry go round

WOUW this is my 260th blog post and to celebrate that I´ll do a give away….. I never thought I would have so much fun with blogging. Thank you all for your comments in the past and hopefully also in the future!! More info about the give – away at the bottom of this post.

First let me tell you about The Merry go round group it is a group of artists/crafts-women as they link hands around the world and tell you a little about their lives and art. We are group of 11 women from all over the world.

This last friday of this month the theme is` Share a photo that affects you someway`

I love making pictures, I think I use my camera everyday.. so I descide to stick to a picture I made myself. Terrible diffycult to choose just one but here it is:

I really love this flower (Aquilegia ) as it is a sign summer is coming. This one is really special as it has a double layer of petals and all the ribbles in it, a little piece of art, just like many other flowers and plants are.. I can get inspired to make felt with a structure like this.

Now for my give away I will give away a felted belt and as I will have a very bussy time ahead I’ll take one which is ready to ship. Hope you like it This belt can be worn on your hips or higher (just under your breasts) . It will give any simple clothgarment a special look. The length is 80 cm cords not included, cords are 45 cm long and it is 10 cm wide I made it with pastel green soft merinowool, silkfibers and white lace.

All you need to do for 3 chances to win is :

Leave a comment where you tell me how much you would pay for a felted belt like this (=one entry)

I love your picture – nature is so pretty with it’s perfect repetition and simple clean beauty!
I’ve never seen this flower before but I’ll look out for it next spring!
Congrats on your many blogposts, Kim! Isn’t blogging fun?

That’s a beautiful double aquilegia! I have some in my garden too, but not this kind, some dust pink and some purple too, I love them, there are kind of granny flowers, like an antique women’s bonnet

Your give away is lovely, I like the white thread that comes over like the end of a wave, I don’t know the english word for it, in french it’s écume and about the price, I’m no good at that game, but I would say around 30 or 40€

I love columbines too esp. the doubles. I think Carla Bartow is my favorite. The belt is beautiful, I would pay around $25-$30 for it. Great spring color. Will post this on my blog too, http://www.fiberartistoo.blogspot.com

This kind of flower looks like ballet dancers holding their hands up and close together. So pretty !
The belt is chic and the color is so soft. The winner must be proud to put it on. Thanks for your comment on my felted pictures. The pods are of Bauhinia – our typical “Flower of the City”. I think the flower names are Latin.
